Disclaimer: Like all the other ones, I just own Max and Anna and the plot.
"James! Are you up?" Lily asked sounding excited.
"Yeah, what's up?" James asked staring at Lily who was glowing with excitement.
"We get out of the hospital wing, remember?" Lily asked James still sounding excited.
"Oh yeah," James said. "When?"
"Madam Pomfrey said as soon as you wake up we could both leave," Lily told James.
"What time is it?" James asked looking at the dark sky out the window.
"8:30," Lily answered.
James got out of the hospital bed for the first time in quite awhile and got ready to leave the hospital wing.
"C'mon James," Lily said excitedly.
James hurried and got ready to leave the hospital wing. Lily was standing by the door waiting for him to come. James walked over to the door where Lily was and they left the hospital wing together.
Lily and James started walking down the hall. They talked for a little while, but then they just stopped and kept walking. As they were nearing the Gryffindor Common Room, Lily's hand found its way into James's hand.
They walked up to the portrait hole. James muttered the password, but it didn't work.
"That's not the password, anymore," the Fat Lady told him.
"What do you mean it's not the password, anymore?" James asked.
"It's been changed," the Fat Lady told him.
"What?" James asked.
"James, it's okay, we'll just wait for someone to come and give us the password," Lily told him smiling at him.
They both sat down outside the Portrait Hole.
"You play Quidditch, right, James? I think I remember you playing Quidditch," asked James.
"Yeah, chaser," James answered nervously. He was silently praying that anyone, but Max or the gossip queens came along to give them the password. No doubt that they'd tell Lily that she hated James's guts in a second. James was so lost in his own thoughts, that he barely noticed that Lily had just spoken to him.
"What?" James asked her.
"I said I'm a little hungry, do you think we could go get some food or something?" Lily asked him.
"Sure," James said smiling.
He got up from the ground and led Lily down to the kitchens. They got some food and decided to eat it on the way back to the portrait hole.
"Do we go down to the kitchens often?" Lily asked.
James paused for a second before answering, "Yeah."
It was partially true. James went down to the kitchens all the time. He didn't think Lily even knew where they were, though. But his answer was still partially true.
James looked at him suspiciously for a moment before saying, "Okay." She opened her mouth and looked as though she were about to add more, but they just saw someone standing at the portrait hole. It was Sirius, actually.
"Sirius!" James yelled, running towards his best friend.
"The password changed," Lily explained.
"What? Oh, yeah I know," Sirius answered grinning slyly. "I convinced the Head Boy to change our password."
"What?" Lily asked.
"Why'd you do that?" James yelled.
"No reason," Sirius smiled at them. They had been holding hands again. They quickly dropped them.
"What's the new password?" James asked.
Sirius opened his mouth as though he were about to say something, but then he closed it and it looked as though he were thinking.
He opened his mouth and said, "I'm not sure if-"
James whipped out his wand and said, "Sirius Lee Black, you give us the password or I'll hex you into the next century."
"Touchy," Sirius said. "It's wattlebird."
"Thank you," Lily said.
James and Lily entered the Common Room that was filled with people. James looked around for Remus and Peter. Peter wasn't there, but Remus was sitting in a corner talking to Anna.
"Sirius, Is Remus talking with Anna?" James whispered to Sirius.
"What? Oh yeah, they've been spending a lot of time together lately," Sirius answered James.
Remus waved for them to come over to where he and Anna were sitting.
"Hi guys," Anna and Remus greeted them.
"Where's Max?" James asked Sirius, sounding worried about her reaction when she came into the Common Room.
"How should I know?" Sirius answered, sounding disgusted. "Wait. I do know."
"What? How?" James asked.
Sirius looked over at the portrait hole and said, "She just walked through the portrait hole."
"Shit," James said under his breath. He glanced over at Lily who was talking to Anna and Remus. He racked his brains thinking of something he could do. Max was starting to look around the room for Lily and Anna. 'Do something,' a voice screamed inside James's head.
James took out his wand, pointed it at Max, and whispered, "Silencio."
Max had just spotted them and stormed over to them in rage. She opened her mouth to scream at them, but no words came out. She looked shocked for a minute, and then she figured out what happened. She looked around the room for a piece of parchment, a quill, and some ink.
She found them and scribbled on the parchment. She stuffed it under James's nose. He glanced over at Lily, Remus, Sirius, and Anna. Lily, Remus, and Anna were still talking. Sirius was shaking with silent laughter.
James read the parchment. It said, 'WHAT DID YOU DO???'
"Max, I am shocked that you think I would do something like this," James said pretending to sound surprised.
Max rolled her eyes. Anna noticed that Max was standing there.
"Hi Max," she greeted.
Lily looked over at Max and said, "Hi."
Max scribbled something down on another piece of parchment.
Lily took it and read, 'Hi.'
"What did you two do to Max?" Remus asked Sirius and James.
'I can honestly say that I, for once, did nothing," Sirius answered.
"I put a silencing charm on her," James answered sheepishly.
Max smacked James on the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" James asked indignantly.
Max took another piece of parchment and scribbled something else down and handed it to James.
"I resent that!" James said as he read the parchment.
"What did it say?" Lily asked. But Sirius yanked the piece of parchment out of James's hand.
"Bad Maxie, you have a potty mouth," Sirius told her.
Max stepped on Sirius's foot.
"And you're violent," Sirius added.
"Guys, don't be so mean!" Anna told them. "Take it off of her."
"I don't know, Ani, I like the peacefulness of Max not talking," Sirius told her.
Anna laughed.
Max mouthed something at Anna that looked suspiciously like, 'Traitor.'
"Be nice," Lily told them.
"Can't we take it off of her tomorrow, Lils?" James asked sheepishly.
Lily looked at James and said, "James! Be nice to her!"
James looked at her with a puppy dog pout.
Lily sighed and said, "Ok."
"Great," Sirius said. "Let's go to bed now."
They all agreed and headed up to their dormitories except for Max, James, and Sirius.
Max grabbed a piece of parchment and scribbled down something and handed it to James.
'You poisoned her mind,' James read. "I'm insulted!" James said pretending to be angry. "We didn't do anything to Ani!"
"It was Remus!" Sirius added.
Max looked angry and picked up another piece of parchment and scribbled something else down.
"Oh, you meant Lily," James said slowly. "I didn't poison her mind either. That was Sirius."
"Thanks Prongs," Sirius muttered.
"It's true! And I'm tired, so I'm going to bed," James told them smiling.
James walked up the staircase to his dormitory. He felt slightly guilty leaving Sirius alone with Max, but he wanted to get away from her, as soon as he could.
James got ready for bed and crawled in. He was now feeling very bad, remembering his promise to Lily to take the silencing charm off of Max, tomorrow. But his thoughts were interrupted by Sirius's entrance into the dormitory.
"What happened?" James asked.
"She kicked me!" Sirius yelled waking Peter and Remus up.
"Sirius, normal people like to sleep at this time," Remus told him before falling back to sleep.
Peter nodded his head in agreement and turned over in his bed.
"She kicked you?" James asked.
"Yeah, and then she was gonna do something else, but I ran up the stairs. She's scary when she's mad. Even without her voice. She's scary no matter what!" Sirius complained to James. "Don't take the silencing charm off of her, Prongs."
"I promised Lily that I would," James told Sirius.
"God James, you've only been going out since I disillusioned her mind and told her third year, which coincidentally wasn't too long ago," Sirius argued to James, but James had just fallen asleep.
